LabEx INRT impact beyond IGBMC

The LabEx INRT has established fruitful scientific collaborations on various levels, be it on partnering with the medical community, between LabEx INRT projects or national infrastructures.

LabEx INRT leaves an imprint on the local ecosystem through research projects, students recruitment and training, participation in Strasbourg’s Excellence Initiative (IDEX), innovation detection and technology transfer.

1) Research

LabEx INRT established links with the local clinical community around the main topics of genetics, neurological diseases, metabolic diseases and cancer through:

Recruitment of Prof. Jamel Chelly as joint appointment with the University Hospital

Association of INSTRUCT/FRISBI infrastructure to local Calls aiming at structuring research efforts in Strasbourg, in particular in the frame of the emergence of Federations for translational and clinical research (FHU: Fédération Hospitalo-Universitaire) and the IRC.

2) Training environment for Master and PhD students

The LabEx INRT and its teams contribute largely to the training of students in diverse discipline and levels at the University, within the frame of the IDEX.

2 programmes are already set:

the cell physics master programme initiated by the LabEx INRT group leader Daniel Riveline.
It involves 4 scientific departments of the University (physics, biology, chemistry and maths), the Biotechnology school ESBS, and the Institute for Science and Supramolecular engineering (ISIS).
This programme will be launched in September 2015.More

MD-PhD programme which was initiated by the LabEx group leader Valérie Lamour.
This programme is dedicated to the scientific training of future physicians who wish to be involved in biomedical research by providing a dual medical (MD) and scientific degree (PhD).More
